Everything's just slashdotted. Forget the Internet, this is television's game, or try the radio (shortwave or domestic). I had some luck with http://cbc.ca (Canadian Broadcasting Corp., on TV at Newsworld International), but http://www.dwelle.de (German) isn't responding either. Any other suggestions for good international sites? Yahoo dailynews has not been updated - though the search engine is running. Their news story about the planes hasn't been updated for over 2 hours. -- Greg On Tue, Sep 11, 2001 at 07:37:40AM -0700, Bill Stewart wrote: > > At 10:22 AM 09/11/2001 -0400, Seth Finkelstein wrote: > > "Warren E.
